The categories of modern-day pornography span far and wide, and there’s just about something for everyone out there, regardless of your wildest kinks and turn-ons.
Where some argue that pornography is unhealthy and should be avoided, there are more than enough benefits that come from masturbation, and if porn is the one way that allows you to achieve orgasm when on your own and is something you enjoy watching, then have at it!
Point of view, or POV porn, is a genre that many find to be alluring and their favorite form of adult video. If you’re not sure what POV porn is, or if it is a category worth browsing (or even filming for yourself!), then we’re here to shed a little light on the subject.
What is POV Porn?
POV porn is a category of pornographic content. The defining characteristic of these types of videos is that they are shot from a first-person point of view by the camera operator as if the viewer is watching things go down with their own eyes. This makes the viewer feel as though they are a part of the action, or more so, that they are the ones engaging in the sexual behavior for an immersive and orgasm-inducing experience.
This type of pornography creates a higher sense of intimacy, regardless if it is watched during a solo masturbation setting, as it feels like someone else is right there with you. The fact that it immerses you into the film, creating the sense of being there in real life, very much helps to promote a vivid imagination and to transplant you away from reality and into the lovely world of sexual sensation.
To differentiate between other forms of pornographic content, POV porn is not as voyeuristic.
When watching from a third-person angle, as most other pornography videos are shot, our minds’ sexuality is triggered by the voyeuristic element to this scenario; the fact that we get to watch with our own eyes other people having sex, and that they are stripping down to their core sexuality right in front of us.
POV porn is, instead, a turn-on because of the realistic feeling of being there.
How is POV Porn Filmed
Point of view porn is filmed from the view of one of the partners involved in the action, as if watching through their (or your) eyes, recording as they perform all the dirty acts we love to watch. It is not by a third-party cameraman.
Although there are plenty of professional production companies that create this type of content, POV porn can exist in any format, as it is a popular method of filming amongst amateur stars, especially those who prefer to remain faceless and anonymous.
Although you can surely find POV porn filmed from the woman’s perspective, a majority of POV porn is filmed from the male’s perspective.
Part of the reason being is that males mainly consume most pornography, and this male perspective allows for one of the best visualizations of what they want to see. Another part is the fact that the angle is excellent for penetrative sex from above or behind.
The Types of Point Of View Porn
One thing to keep in mind about point of view pornography is that multiple other categories of porn can all fall under this general umbrella term.
Think about it this way. If you’re into ‘rough sex‘, then there’s plenty of point-of-view action to watch from this perspective with hardcore pounding and red, spanked butts. If ‘group sex’ is your favorite, then why not watch an orgy from the view of someone involved?
And that is precisely why POV porn is such an alluring category to watch and why so many people head straight for this type of content. Not only do they get to watch their favorite style of video, but they get to do so from the eyes of the filmer.
In other forms, POV porn is a highly watched category within gay pornography, with the lesbian point of view being the most uncommon. With lesbian POV, you will mostly watch pornography from the view of a woman who is enjoying oral from another, of which you can lustfully stare into her eyes as she moves her tongue, or from visualizations of strapon sex.
A simple search of POV porn will land you millions of results, so if you know what you like, simply add that to the end of your POV search, like “POV Public Sex”.
And if you don’t, have fun exploring the endless variations of POV sex! Heck, maybe you’ll learn something new about yourself or pick up a little something that you can try for your own at home with your partner!
How to Enjoy It
If you have the urge to watch porn, then why not try watching some point of view? And when you do so, keep a few of these tips in mind for a soul-shivering orgasm.
- Always use lube- Male or female, there’s no such thing as enough lube, but to the fellas out there, this is especially true for you.
- Relax- both your body and your mind. A relaxed body helps promote blood flow to your nether regions. A relaxed mind will allow your imagination to flourish and your sexuality to blossom along with it as you delve into the world of POV porn.
- Explore- have fun exploring the variations of POV porn, even if it might feel like unchartered territory, as you never know what you’ll come across. Maybe you’ll find something you like, that, up until this point, has gone undiscovered!
- Watch with a Partner- porn doesn’t always have to be enjoyed alone. Sometimes watching it with a partner (depending on your relationship) is an extremely fun way to spice up your sex life and to offer you both a new view from the eyes of another.
- Toys, toys, toys- Sex toys and masturbation are necessary matches, something that should always go hand-in-hand. If you arent incorporating toys into your solo (or partner, of course) sex, then what are you doing? Toys are one of the best ways to enhance your orgasm and have a bit extra fun mimicking POV porn. For the men, a pocket pussy is a perfect way to further enhance the realness that POV content provides, as you can thrust to the movements of the star on the screen to further make you feel like you are there. And for the woman, your favorite dildo will do the same trick, but you might have even more fun with a toy that mimics cunnilingus.
